• • ReHydro: Mauro Carolli from SINTEF Energy Research will discuss ReHydro, a project focused on refurbishing and modernising European hydropower to play a significant role in future power systems. The project prioritises sustainability and addresses societal needs within the context of climate change.
  • Store2Hydro: Staffan Lundström from Luleå University of Technology, Sweden, will introduce Store2Hydro, a four-year initiative funded by the European Commission's Horizon Europe programme. This project aims to optimise electricity storage by integrating reversible pump turbine technology into existing hydropower infrastructures.
  • Renewat: Clement Van Straaten from ASKEUL will present the RENEWAT project, which addresses the cultural and territorial aspects of repurposing water mills for renewable energy. The project involves partners from six EU countries who will share knowledge and support renewable energy initiatives in existing water mills, with the goal of enhancing the skills of local and regional actors.
     

Additionally, the webinar will feature contributions from Emanuele Quaranta of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and Anton Schleiss from the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD), who will represent ETIP HYDROPOWER.
